Revamped Holiday Inn in Downtown Disney opening 2/4

I've been searching everywhere to get good photos of the refurb, but I can't find any! You'd think the Disney news sites would be more up on this sort of thing.

Anyone heard anything about pricing or photos?

You know...I usually make it a point to eat McDonald's once while I'm either travelling there, or while I'm there. I think it's because I never eat it at home and it reminds me of being a kid.

FYI, found this news link today: http://www.citmagazine.com/News/MostEmailed/984821/Holiday-Inn-opens-Walt-Disney-World-Resort/

Still not a lot of pictures, though!

Thanks SpaceAce! Hopefully more pics will come out soon. The prices seem pretty low, too, which is good. I've never stayed in the DTD area, but there seem to be some good deals there

Do you still get the EMH and other perks staying in the DTD area?

I'm 99% sure that it's just the Disney Resorts, Shades of Green, Swan & Dolphin and the DTD Hilton, unless a EMH membership was part of the upgrade.

I think cdub's right -- Holiday Inn doesn't get the EMH treatment.

By the way, here's another cool site with some great Holiday Inn photos:

SpaceAce, I've never seen that Downtown Disney Hotels link! I wonder if that's run by Disney? Can't be, right?

It's a great site, though -- that's more than I've learned about the DTD hotels after a bunch of internet searching!

HORRORS!

I don't have the slightest inclination to eat at a MacDonalds, and even less when I'm at WDW. In fact, I basically have no desire to eat at any chain restaurant that I can find here in the Chicagoland area (hear that, Rainforest?)

There are so many great counter service places to eat in Downtown Disney; it'll be a while before I try Polly Campero...
